This is a script for a one-hour comedy and musical (called "Land of Lost Stories") that I wrote for children's community theater (ages 8-15). It's about today's technology (apps, phones, youtube) distracting kids from reading childhood stories. The songs are adaptations of existing music, and the instrumentals/karaoke versions can be found online. The plot is designed to give each actor in the cast a chance to play a well-known characters like: Goldilocks, Little Mermaid, Peter Pan, Humpty Dumpty, Flat Stanley, Mother Goose, Princess and Pea, Harold and the Purple Crayon, Fozzie Bear, Tinkerbell, Dorothy and Glinda (Wizard of Oz), Jack and the Beanstalk, Prince Charming, Pinocchio, Little Bo Peep. In the story, these characters simply want to return to the "hearts and minds" of children everywhere, but they can't escape the island until they overcome a weakness or change in a meaningful way. There's a twist at the end, where we discover that the jailers of the island are actually Winnie the Pooh and Tiger in disguise.

I want to see it live! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zq0P4E5SIKk&t=298s
We had the kids (ages 8-15) select historic characters from books or plays or old movies... then complete a worksheet about them (what happens when they're scared, what's their goal?). Based on that, I wrote the story. It's one my favourites because it speculates about what famous (but forgotten) characters might be like after the events for which they're best known... and it's around each character being redeemed by confronting things that limit them.

Reading Response: The Vagina Monologues
The Vagina Monologues is a play comprising episodes written by Eve Ensler. This play is mainly based on the monologues made by a large number of women about their genital organ named “Vagina.” The author herself is a woman, so she has a good knowledge of the main theme of the play. The monologues made by several women about their experience of sexual relationship and their perceptions about vagina (Ensler, 2007). Different women have different thinking about their vagina. Some have quoted, “My Angry Vagina”, “Because he liked to look at it”, My Vagina was my Village” and many more. The content of the play is quite realistic as it is based on the monologues made from the personal experiences of the women. From the reading, it has been inferred that women of different age and background have different feelings about their vagina. Young women, married women, lesbians, sex workers, all have their own views about their vagina. The work is formed in a structured and interesting ways to keep the interests of readers to a greater extent. At some places, the play gives a negative portrayal of the sexual relationship of males and females. In all it has been inferred from the reading that though vagina is the supreme embodiment of all the females, yet they take it in different ways.

Corpus Christie
Terrence Mc Nally’s Corpus Christi forays a multitude of onlookers as it deals with a very delicate and peculiar issue. The play projects the outrageous question of portraying Jesus Christ as gay. Depicting Christ as gay brings no difference to his fate which means he is deceived by Judas and is crucified for all to observe. The play, despite the rising controversies, passes the message of parity. But the spectators view the surface aspects of the play that creates the hullabaloo. The predestined minds of the viewers can never accept Christ as a homosexual and definitely consider the play as blasphemous. I personally oppose many factors in the play. The strong religious background never allows people like us to take a positive stance with the play. Christ is a popular and revered figure and to accept him as a human with all follies is something that requires a special and peculiar sense of spirit which is difficult to achieve. Jesus is born of immaculate conception and it is predestined that his life should be and certainly be immaculate. The mind set can never be altered with such ease and there is always a tendency to categorize the play as sacrilegious. There are still double sided opinions regarding homosexuality and yet there are debates as to whether it be regarded as natural or not. In any case, it is not fair to disturb the feelings of a sect of people. In my personal opinion, the play is disgraceful. The play’s apparent objective of upholding lenience by misportraying a venerated personality that Christians all around the globe reflect to be celestial needs to.

Setting
As the play opens, the first monologues or dialogues introduce the situation. Be sure to note this information since the place or location may tell you something about the characters and the atmosphere of the play. You will want to consider the time (of the year, of the day), place (region, city or rural), and other concerns, such as language, culture, and socio-historical contexts. It is important to know as much as possible about the setting so you can imagine the characters and interpret what they say and do.
A play generally includes stage directions, which are notes in the text of the play that are not spoken during the performance. These directions instruct the actors and director about various aspects of the performance, such as when characters should exit and enter the stage and where props should be located. Stage directions often include the most detailed account of a play’s setting. You might be tempted to skip over or just scan the stage directions; however, they are crucial for attaining a full and nuanced understanding of the play.
Ultimately, the setting can simply function as a backdrop for the events of the play or it can have a profound effect on them. Settings sometimes symbolically represent plot and character issues. For example, a locked door could represent an emotional or spiritual obstacle within a character’s life. At other times, settings play an active role within a story, limiting or permitting the characters’ actions.
When considering the setting of a play, try to identify the details that seem most important. In what ways does the setting influence the events and characters? How does the setting reflect the central ideas of the play? Does it constrain or liberate the characters? Does it produce certain responses from the audience?

Characters
Amanda Wingfield, the mother. A little woman of great but confused vitality clinging frantically to another time and place. Her characterization must be carefully created, not copied from type. She is not paranoiac, but her life is paranoia. There is much to admire in Amanda, and as much to love and pity as there is to laugh at. Certainly she has endurance and a kind of heroism, and though her foolishness makes her unwittingly cruel at times, there is tenderness in her slight person.
Laura Wingfield, her daughter. Amanda, having failed to establish contact with reality, continues to live vitally in her illusions, but Laura’s situation is even graver. A childhood illness has left her crippled, one leg slightly shorter than the other, and held in a brace. This defect need not be more than suggested on the stage. Stemming from this, Laura’s separation increases till she is like a piece of her own glass collection, too exquisitely fragile to move from the shelf.
Tom Wingfield, her son. And the narrator of the pl.

In the vast landscape of cinema, stories have been told, retold, and reimagined in countless ways. At the heart of this narrative evolution lies the concept of a "remake". A successful remake allows us to revisit cherished tales through a fresh lens, often reflecting a different era's perspective or harnessing the power of advanced technology. Yet, the question remains, what makes a remake successful? Today, we will delve deeper into this subject, identifying the key ingredients that contribute to the success of a remake.

Royalty-Free Note
This approximately one-hour musical production was written for
community theater to be performed by children ages 11-15. It
includes characters and songs that are not owned or licensed by
the writer. The author is sharing only the derivative storyline
under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike
4.0 International license. The writer/owner of this story does
not have rights for characters or songs that are suggested here,
so if you perform this play you assume risk. Many of the
characters are public domain because their copyrights have
expired (original Wizard of Oz, Pinocchio, Peter Pam and other
Fairy Tales). But producers or directors should recognize that
using the songs and select characters can infringe on rights.
For the debut performance of this play, children selected their
own characters and completed a worksheet on the character with
such questions as: what was the original source of the character,
what is their motivation, what scares them, what lesson do they
need to learn? These worksheets were incorporated into the
script, so the actors and actresses shaped the story and their
character arcs.

Plot Summary
Distracted by technology and pop culture, children today are
beginning to forget the most timeless story characters. When the
stories of these classic characters are no longer told, they are
discarded to the “Land of Lost Stories.” For the first time,
these beloved characters meet and interact with each other, and
some bottle while others bond.
There is hope for returning to the “hearts and minds” of
children, as long as the characters can overcome their
weaknesses, face their fears, and help each other. But now, the
island’s evil captors threaten to drag all the beloved characters
to the island’s hills, where they will be forgotten entirely.
3. Land of Lost Stories, FINAL Page 3
SET
Except for the intro and ending (performed in front of the
curtain, the play takes place on an island. It’s a vibrant set
that includes a door for escape and an entrance that characters
enter via a slide. The slide is obscured by rocks (which we made
of paper machete and wire mesh). You can include a fog machine
and lights to create drama around the character exits as they’re
freed from island (and we played majestic music through the
entire sequence of departure).
4. Land of Lost Stories, FINAL Page 4

and later teens) can be double cast. That means there are 20

Scene 1: Story Time at Grandmas
(Front of curtain. A grandmother is sitting on a rocker,
reading a story to two small children in their bed on stage
left).
MOTHER GOOSE
“And sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean
over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you,” said Pooh
to Tigger. “You will suddenly know everything there is to be known.“
ASPEN
You tell bestest stories of anyone I know, grandma.
BREE
Yes. One more story, please!
MOTHER GOOSE
Tomorrow, Aspen and Bree. It’s past your bedtime and there’s only one
more night until your parents return.
ASPEN
So our last story this summer is tomorrow night?
BREE
Then it had better be a very good one.
MOTHER GOOSE
It will. I promise. It will be the second best story ever told. Yes,
the second best story ever told, my little goslings.
ASPEN
What’s a gosling?
MOTHER GOOSE
A gosling is a child of a goose.
BREE
Then you’re a mother goose!
Kids laugh as the Mother Goose tucks them in, and lights drop.
MOTHER GOOSE
(sings in lullaby)
Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky;
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.
Scene 2: Eleven Years Later
(Front of curtain. Bree and Aspen are teenagers. They enter
from stage right with luggage.)
MOTHER GOOSE
Well there are my goslings! Hello, Bree. Hello Aspen. Look how you two
have grown.
BREE
Hi Mother Goose!
ASPEN
8. Land of Lost Stories, FINAL Page 8
Hey grandma.
MOTHER GOOSE
Rest your bags, dear. I have some lemonade, lemon drops, and new
stories to share with you when you get settled.
BREE
(Looking at phone)
Oh tonight? Well that’s nice, but...
ASPEN
(Laughing at text on phone, and shows it to Bree. Then
realizes Mother Goose is standing there).
Oh right. Bree and I are meeting some friends at the mall.
BREE
We’ll be back maybe at ten o’clock, but that’s past your bedtime,
right?
ASPEN
(Reads text).
Hey, Mason is outside. We’ll see you in the morning, okay?
Scene 3: Welcome to the Island
(Curtain opens to reveal a strange island. On the back of
stage left is a hole with a green slide poking out. On the
back of stage right is a small, closed door. Jack, from
Jack & The Beanstalk, falls down green slide onto stage.
JACK
Ouch! Holy cow that hurt worse than falling down my beanstalk. Where
the heck am I?
TINKERBELL
(She’s weak and leaning against something for support)
How should I know? I’ve only been here for a few hours. Actually it
has maybe been a few days.
JACK
I first thought you were a talking harp. But you’re Tinkerbell, aren’t
you? Wow you’ve really let yourself go.
TINKERBELL
Up your beanstalk, Jack. I can barely stand, and this place is
draining me. I can’t even remember how I got here.
JACK
Well it looks like you need some help.
(She reaches for him, but he walks away oblivious)
TINKERBELL
Still stealing from giants, Jack?
JACK
What gave it away?
TINKERBELL
The gold in your pocket.
JACK
Gold? I don’t have any gold. Well I gotta split. Tell Peter Pan hi.
(Jack first tries doorknob, shaking it vigorously. Then he
tries climbing back up green slide, but he can’t. His gold
9. Land of Lost Stories, FINAL Page 9
coins spill down slide, and he scrambles to get them all
and tuck them back into his pockets, hoping Tinkerbell
doesn’t notice).
TINKERBELL
That gold!
(Little Red Riding Hood slides in, and is startled by Jack
and Tinkerbell. She jumps back and fiercely protects her
basket. She eyes them suspiciously).
RED
Who are you and what do you want with me?!
JACK
Easy, Eloise.
TINKERBELL
She’s not Eloise. She’s Pippi Longstocking.
RED
Hood. Red. Riding Hood.
JACK
Oh I remember her. I dated her grandmother. She’s an animal.
RED
Back off, Jack. It is, Jack, isn’t it? The kid who murders lonely
giants and steals their well earned gold?
TINKERBELL
Fess up, Red. What’s in the basket?
JACK
Looks heavy. Can I hold it for you?
RED
Step back. I’m not the innocent little girl you think. I know things
now.
JACK
Do you?
S2: I KNOW THINGS NOW (RED) INSTRUMENTAL
Note: In the “In the Woods” song and traditional story, Red
learns a to be careful and safe. But in this play, she took
a different lesson from her experience with the wolf. She
trusts nobody, suspects people are innately bad, and keeps
everyone away (but she’ll eventually learn to see the good
in people again).
Mother said,
"Straight ahead,"
Not to delay
or be misled.
I should have
heeded
Her advice...
But he seemed so
nice.
And he showed me
things
Many beautiful
things,
That I hadn't
thought to explore.
They were off my
path,
So I never had
dared.
I had been so
careful,
I never had cared.
And he made me feel
excited-
Well, excited and
scared.
When he said, "Come
in!"
With that sickening
grin,
How could I know
what was in store?
10. Land of Lost Stories, FINAL Page 10
Once his teeth were
bared,
Though, I really
got scared-
Well, excited and
scared-
But he drew me
close
And he swallowed me
down,
Down a dark slimy
path
Where lie secrets
that I never want
to know,
And when everything
familiar
Seemed to disappear
forever,
At the end of the
path
Was Granny once
again.
So we wait in the
dark
Until someone sets
us free,
And we're brought
into the light,
And we're back at
the start.
And I know things
now,
Many valuable
things,
That I hadn't known
before:
Do not put your
faith
In a cape and a
hood,
They will not
protect you
The way that they
should.
And take extra care
with strangers,
Even flowers have
their dangers.
And though scary is
exciting,
Nice is different
than good.
“People inside. Are
full’a disgust
When in doubt, You
cannot trust
Keep away I’m on my
own
And a little... a-
lone”
After applause, immediately into next song
S3: WATCH ME WHIP (LITTLE GUYS)
The “little guys” are looking cool as they “whip and nae
nae” from the back of the auditorium. They are Humpty, Flat
Stanley, Fozzie Bear and Harold (from Harold & The Purple
Crayon). They make their way onto stage left, not even
realizing anyone new has arrived.
Now watch me whip (Kill it!)
Now watch me nae nae (Okay!)
Now watch me whip, whip
Watch me nae nae (Watch me do it)
Now watch me whip (Kill it!)
Now watch me nae nae (Okay!)
Now watch me whip, whip
Watch me nae nae (Can you do it?)
Now watch me, ooh watch me, watch me
Ooh watch me, watch me
HUMPTY
(Wait until song ends)
Everyone stop! Look here, Flat Stanley. New friends!
FLAT STANLEY
Ahhhhh!
11. Land of Lost Stories, FINAL Page 11
(Stanley is scared. He screams and runs to stage right
while holding his hands up in the air like the Flat Stanley
cutout)
TINKERBELL
Jack- these are the Littles
JACK
It’s a pleasure to meet you little guys. Do you know how I can get
through that door or up that slide? I’d like to get as far away from
you as humanly possible?
STANLEY
Sorry. You can’t get out. Only in.
TINKERBELL
Stanley is right. Nobody has ever left.
HAROLD
People don’t tell “Jack and the Beanstalk” stories anymore. So you’ve
been forgotten and tossed here.
JACK
That’s insane. You’re insane.
FOZZIE
We’ve all been forgotten. The Muppets used to be big. But the
franchise has been on a steady decline since the 1980s.
JACK
Okay he’s Harold and the crayon. That must be Humpty Dumpty. You’re
clearly Flat Stanley. So who are you? Yogi Bear?
FOZZIE
Close. Fozzie bear. I’m not from Jellystone I’m from California.
HAROLD
What part?
FOZZIE
All of me. Wocka, wocka?
Scene 4: Not Kansas
(Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz tumbles down green slide)
DOROTHY
Okay this definitely isn’t Kansas either. Oh, nooooo.
(She looks around the empty island and is terrified).
(Glinda flips down slide. Looks flustered. Wipes dress.
Sees Dorothy and snaps into cheerful disposition).
GLINDA
Well, Dorothy Gale, you are a sight for sore eyes!
DOROTHY
Oh, Glinda. Thank goodness. What is this place?
GLINDA
12. Land of Lost Stories, FINAL Page 12
I don’t know. I’m not even sure how we got here.
DOROTHY
I don’t see any flying monkeys. But look way over there (points past
audience). Is that a bear or a tiger?
GLINDA
Oh Dorothy, you look terrified.
DOROTHY
I am, Glinda. I’m scared. I want my Auntie Emm.
S4: NO ONE IS ALONE, INTO WOODS (DOROTHY & GLINDA)
Glinda:
Aunt Emm cannot
guide you.
Now you're on your
own.
Only me beside you.
Still, you're not
alone.
No one is alone.
Truly.
No one is alone.
DIALOGUE from 40
seconds to 48
Glinda:
Mother isn't here
now
Dorothy:
Wrong things, right
things
Glinda:
Who knows what
she'd say?
Dorothy:
Who can say what's
true?
Glinda:
Nothings quite so
clear now.
Dorothy:
Do things, fight
things,
Glinda:
Feel you've lost
your way?
Dorothy:
You decide, but
Both:
You are not alone
Glinda:
Believe me,
No one is alone
Dorothy:
No one is alone.
Believe me.
Glinda:
Truly
Both:
You move just a
finger,
Say the slightest
word,
Somethings bound to
linger
Be heard
Dorothy:
No one acts alone.
Careful.
No one is alone.
Both:
People make
mistakes.
Dorothy:
Fathers,
Glinda:
Mothers,
Both:
People make
mistakes,
Holding to their
own,
Thinking they're
alone.
Glinda:
Honor their
mistakes
Glinda:
Everybody makes
Dorothy:
Fight for their
mistakes
Both:
One another's
terrible mistakes.
Witches can be
right, Giants can
be good.
You decide what's
right you decide
what's good
Glinda:
Just remember:
Dorothy:
[Echo] Just
remember:
Both:
Someone is on your
side
Jack,
Dorothy:
OUR side
Both:
Our side--
Someone else is not
While we're seeing
our side
Jack,
Dorothy:
13. Land of Lost Stories, FINAL Page 13
Our side..
Both
Our side--
Both:
Maybe we forgot:
they are not alone.
No one is alone.
Glinda:
Hard to see the
light now.
Dorothy:
Just don't let it
go
Both:
Things will come
out right now.
We can make it so.
Someone is on your
side
No one is alone.
No change to lights after song!
(Jack, Tinkerbell and Little Guys enter).
GLINDA
Oh hello, sweet little children.
(Startled by HUMPTY, Dorothy screams).
FLAT STANLEY
(When he hears Dorothy scream, he screams and runs with his
arms flailing)
GLINDA
It’s all right dear. We’re not going to hurt you.
HUMPTY
Say, I know you guys. You’re Glinda the Good Witch and you’re Dorothy.
You were in Wizard of Oz.
FOZZIE
(To Stanley)
Come back over here, Stanley. Dorothy won’t hurt you. She’s one of the
best actresses from Wizard of Oz.
DOROTHY
What?
FOZZIE
She brought the house down. Wocka wocka.
HAROLD
You know, I auditioned to be a munchkin on the Wizard of Oz.
DOROTHY
I don’t remember seeing you.
FOZZIE
He didn’t get the part. But he did make the short list. Wocka wocka.
(Waldorf and Statler enter from stage left... ominous
music)
STATLER
Look at this, Waldorf. More forgotten story characters. Wizard of Oz
and some munchkins.
WALDORF
But Statler, I don’t think people forgot about Dorothy’s story. I
think they decided it was too pitiful to tell. A girl on the adventure
of her lifetime and all she wants to do is go back to a barn.
DOROTHY
Why, are you a good witch or a bad witch?
WALDORF
14. Land of Lost Stories, FINAL Page 14
My little girl.... Good witches are bad witches who haven’t reached
their maximum potential.
STATLER
And we make wicked witches look like Bambi and Flipper.
GLINDA
Oh rubbish you have no power here.
DOROTHY
Why, who are you two?
S5: HAPPIEST HOME IN THESE HILLS (WALDORF/STATLER)
(During song, Flat Stanley enters and sees villains and
screams. Others can enter stage as they’re mentioned in the
song)
WALDORF
You all are lost and forgotten
You’ll never leave so grab a
chair
STATLER
Down here the air is rotten
Feel free to cry cuz, no one
cares
WALDORF
But wait. There’s more to hear
STATLER
You’ve got. Something else to
fear.
BOTH
A banishment deep in the hills.
In the hills!
WALDORF
In hills you stay forever
Your stories never are told
again
STATLER
Who wants to borrow books
When they can download Clash of
Clans
WALDORF
Minecraft
Geometry dash
Make books
Expensive trash
BOTH
So you’re banished deep into the
hills. In the hills...
Scene 5: Prince and Princess
(Princess Andapee from “Princess & the Pea” slides down stairs. She
looks around, and then sniffs the air).
PRINCESS
It smells like a wet Chihuahua farted Camembert cheese.
PRINCE CHARMING
(Slides half way down slide on stomach, and tries
desperately to stop himself or climb back up).
No, no, no, no, noooooo.
(Loses grip, slides the rest of the way, flops to ground,
staring up at Princess).
15. Land of Lost Stories, FINAL Page 15
Have no fear, madam. It is I, Prince Charming. And I shall protect
you.
PRINCESS
Nice to see you, Charming. I heard Cinderella dumped you.
PRINCE CHARMING
It was a mutual agreement. Mostly. And I’ll have you know that I’ve
been, um, happily ever after, kind of.
(Jack walks in with Tinkerbell)
PRINCESS
Jack? Get your greedy beanstalk away from me.
JACK
I'm not going to steal your little jewels, Princess. I have my own.
TINKERBELL
Look it’s (air quotes) “insert generic Disney princess here.”
PRINCESS
Tinkerbell? You still exist? I saw Peter Pan Live. I believe a
flashlight was playing your part.
TINKERBELL
You’re gonna feel that pea really well where I stick it.
PRINCE CHARMING
Ladies, ladies. Let’s just take a deep breath!
(Little guys enter stage)
PRINCESS
Ewww. Tiny dwarves? Go back to Snow White! Wait – is this a surprise
party?
HUMPTY
No. You’re on an island.
HAROLD
Because you’ve been forgotten.
FLAT STANLEY
Nobody tells the Princess and the Pea story anymore.
PRINCESS
(Disinterested with the island or her fate, she stares at
Fozzie Bear).
Who are you? Little Bear or Lotso Bear?
FOZZIE
Close. Fozzie bear.
LITTLE GUYS
ALL together: Who are you?
S6: CALL ME A PRINCESS (PRINCESS ANDAPEE)
16. Land of Lost Stories, FINAL Page 16
(The Little guys are enchanted and they sit to watch. Jack
sneaks around and steals their belongings: Harold’s crayon,
Humpty’s boom box, Fozzie’s horn and Flat Stanley’s
blanket).
Call me a princess, I don't care
Call me obsessed with nails and hair
Only concerned with what to wear
Shallow and so blasé
Other girls study, why do they bother?
I study how to grease up my father
Fathers were born to pay
And princesses get their way
Believe it
Princesses get their way
Princesses get their way
Scene 6: Stressed Girls
(Red is yanking at door. Then she sits down by the slide
and peeks into her basket. Suddenly, Little Mermaid slips
down the slide, followed by Goldilicks).
GOLDILOCKS
(After landing with her face on the ground)
This ground is too hard.
(She flops over onto Mermaid)
And this is too soft.
(Slides onto Red’s lap)
Oof. And this... this is just not right.
RED
Get off of me. (Looks suspiciously). Goldilocks? Is that you?
GOLDILOCKS
(To Red)
Hiya, Red Riding Hood.
(To Mermaid)
Hiya... other unfamiliar character who is not Red Riding Hood.
MERMAID
Hello girls.
RED
(Even more suspiciously)
Who are you?!
MERMAID
17. Land of Lost Stories, FINAL Page 17
It’s me. Arial. Little Mermaid? Oh nobody knows who I am anymore since
I gave up my luxurious tail (annoyed) for Prince Eric.
BOPEEP
(Slides down slide)
Weeeeee!
(All the girls stare at her, then each other).
Hello gentleman. Has anyone seen my sheep around here?
RED
Bopeep, you can’t trust sheep. They’re wolves in sheep’s clothing.
MERMAID
Yeah like men. Take Prince Eric... please take Prince Eric.
RED
(To Goldilocks)
I think Princess Arial is bitter. She’s gone from Arial to Arial bold.
(To Mermaid)
Did you ditch your prince?
MERMAID
We were inseparable until one day I went back to see my treasure
trove. Prince Eric was so jealous that he evidently stole all of my
whozits and whatzits.
GOLDILOCKS
Please tell me you still have the thingamabobs.
MERMAID
No, there were 10 thingamabobs left (pause). But I used to have 20!
GOLDILOCKS
Well at least you have a world to go back to.
RED
Goldilocks did you runaway again?
GOLDILOCKS
No
MERMAID
You’re a runaway?
GOLDILOCKS
Yes
RED
Well which one. Yes or no?
GOLDILOCKS
I don’t know. Something in between.
RED
Sorry to hear that, Goldi.
GOLDILOCKS
Sorry? I’m not. My parents won’t let me do anything anymore. “Stay off
the computer, Goldilocks. Lay off the Grande lattes, Goldilocks. No
more breaking & entering bear houses, Goldilocks.”
BOPEEP
(To Goldilocks): Excuse me, Alice in Wonderland. Have you seen any
sheep around here?
MERMAID
Oh hush, Little Bopeep. Hush all of you. I used to have a gorgeous
tail and a Prince I could trust.
18. Land of Lost Stories, FINAL Page 18
RED
I used to trust humanity.
Song intro starts here
GOLDILOCKS
I used to have parents who didn’t annoy and embarrass me.
BOPEEP
I used to have a lamb whose fleece was white as snow.
S7: STRESSED OUT (GOLDILOCKS, RED, BOPEEP, MERMAID)
Goldilocks
Wish we could turn back time, to
the good ol’ days,
When our momma sang us to sleep
but now we’re stressed out.
ALL
Wish we could turn back time, to
the good ol’ days,
When our momma sang us to sleep
but now we’re stressed out.
(Dialogue potentially)
BoPeep
Sometimes a certain smell will
take me back to when I was
young,
How come I’m never able to
identify where it’s coming from,
Mermaid
Things were simple with my
sisters
In the deep blue sea
Me and Flounder and a sea witch
Always scaring me
Red
It’d trust my old grandma,
‘cause we have the same nose,
Same clothes homegrown a stone’s
throw from a creek we used to
roam,
Goldilicks
But it would remind us of when
nothing really mattered,
Out of student loans and
treehouse homes we all would
take the latter.
BoPeep
My name’s Little Bo Peep and I
care what you think
My name’s Little Bo Peep and I
care what you think
ALL
Wish we could turn back time, to
the good ol’ days,
When our momma sang us to sleep
but now we’re stressed out!
Scene 7: Town Hall Meeting (ALL CAST)
(The entire cast now on the island are talking and
panicking)
WALDORF
Your attention please. Quiet! Does anyone know why we called this town
hall meeting?
DOROTHY
To send us all to the hills?
CHARMING
19. Land of Lost Stories, FINAL Page 19
To torture us with your fossil breath?
BOPEEP
Wait, I know why they called a meeting, everyone. They’re going to
send us all to the hills!
DOROTHY
Didn’t I just...
GLINDA
Maybe you summoned us to tell us why you’re stealing things from the
little guys?
HAROLD, STANLEY, HUMPTY and FOZZIE
Yeah! You stole my (boom box/yolk, blanket, crayon, horn)
STATLER
That’s Ridick-orous.
WALDORF
The only thing we’re stealing is you. From the hearts and minds of
children everywhere. Statler. The status, stat!
STATLER
We are ahead of plan, sir. Technology is winning. YouTube views rose
45% among 5-10 year olds. Dragon Quest and Fallout Shelter downloads
are going through the roof. Nobody has the time or attention for
stories.
WALDORF
Ah, the sweet triumph of vapid technology over tales of yore. By my
estimation, we are just 36 hours from dumping you all to the hills,
where you’ll be forgotten forever.
STATLER/WALDORF
(They cackle, each topping the other... Statler gives Waldorf a
playful punch. Waldorf punches back hard, and Statler stumbles).
S8: FORGET YOU (WALDORF/STATLER)
Walford
(four count)
You see your stories are dead
To the boys and girls they all
Forget You
Statler
Oo, oo, oooh!
Waldorf
They’d rather Snapchat or
Facebook
Than read your dumb books s
o they
Forget You
Both
And forget her too
Statler
Yeah I'm sorry. No I’m not
sorry,
We think this fate is rather
fair
Stop your chatter. Your tales
don't matter.
The kids and parents just don’t
care
Walford
You see your stories are dead
To the boys and girls they all
Forget You
20. Land of Lost Stories, FINAL Page 20
Statler
Oo, oo, oooh!
Waldorf
They’d rather Snapchat or
Facebook
Than read your dumb books so
they
Forget You
Both
And forget her too
Oooh ooooh oooh

Scene 8: Change Your Story
Prince Charming and Dorothy are on stage
PRINCE CHARMING
So I says to him, “I don’t know. Why can't you give Elsa a balloon?”
And Kristoff says, “Because she will let it go.”
(Dorothy’s face turns from worried to a smile, and she covers her
mouth timidly to quietly laugh).
(WALDORF AND STATLER enter, chasing Bopeep and Tinkerbell.
Physical comedy ensues)
(Peter Pan slides onto stage, and the chasing stops abruptly...
Peter appears not to notice the four others, but then turns
swiftly swinging his sword).
PETER PAN
Step away or I’ll make a hook of your hand.
STATLER
Hoo, hoo, hoooo. Try it, man. I’ll bounce all over you and your little
green tights.
BOPEEP
(Pointing to Statler) That man is a bouncer.
TINKERBELL
Peter!
(Runs to him and protects him from Statler).
Backoff, grampa grizzle... this is Peter Pan.
WALDFORF
Oh bother. I’m feeling a rumbly in my tumbly. Let’s go have lunch,
Statler. Wait there was something else. Think, think, think. Oh, I
heard there’s a library closing in Doylestown.
STATLER
Let’s go burn some books! Tata for now.
(Waldorf and Statler exit)
(She starts to get dizzy. Faints into Peter’s arms).
PETER PAN
What’s the matter Tink?
DOROTHY
Her light is fading. Yours will too. You’re here because your story is
being forgotten. Those two old men are using iPhones and computers to
distract kids from storytelling.
PRINCE CHARMING
Don’t worry. They won’t prevail. I will save you, Tinkerbell. (To
audience): Everyone just clap your hands together and...
22. Land of Lost Stories, FINAL Page 22
PRINCESS
Put a lid on it, Charming. That doesn’t work here.
(To Peter)
These guys seem quite happy, and I don’t want to offend them. But I
don’t like it here one bit.
PRINCE CHARMING
Don’t you realize you’re not the only one who doesn’t like it here.
You are as self-centered as Cinderella!
BOPEEP
Well my sheep like it just fine.
(Leans over to imaginary sheep and pets them).
(Pinocchio shoots down slide)
PINOCCHIO
I’m sorry. Did I get your slide dirty?
PETER PAN
Pinocchio, stop apologizing.
PINOCCHIO
Yes sir. Sorry.
PETER PAN
Nobody’s going to turn you into a wooden puppet again.
FOZZIE
Pokes on stage
He knows (points to nose). Get it? Nose!? Wocka wocka!
PETER PAN
What’s the matter with you people? Tink get up. You can’t sit around
and worry about some plot twist or tragic ending. It’s time to write
your own stories.
S9: CHANGE YOUR STORY (PETER PAN, WITH GOLDILOCK, CHARMING AND
PINNOCCHIO) INSTRUMENTAL
PETER
Jack and Jill, went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water,
so they say
Their subsequent fall was
inevitable
They never stood a chance, they
were written that way
Innocent victims of their story
Like Romeo and Juliet
T'was written in the stars
before they even met
That love and fate, and a touch
of stupidity
Would rob them of their hope of
living happily
The endings are often a little
bit gory BORING
I wonder why they didn't just
change their story?
We're told we have to do what
we're told but surely
Sometimes you have to be a
little bit naughty.
CHARMING
Just because you find that
life's not fair It doesn't mean
that you just have to grin and
bear it
If you always take it on the
chin and wear it
23. Land of Lost Stories, FINAL Page 23
Nothing will change.
GOLDILOCKS
Even if you're little, you can
do a lot, you
Mustn't let a little thing like,
'little' stop you
If you sit around and let them
get on top,
you might as well be saying
You think that it's okay
And that's not right!
PETER
And if it’s not right... you
have to put it right...
PINNOCHIO
Just because you find that
life's not fair It doesn't mean
that you just have to grin and
bear it
If you always take it on the
chin and wear it
Nothing will change.
PETER
Even if you're little, you can
do a lot, you
Mustn't let a little thing like,
'little' stop you
If you sit around and let them
get on top,
you might as well be saying
You think that it's okay
And that's not right!
And if it's not right!
You have to put it right!
But nobody else is gonna put it
right for me
nobody but me is gonna change my
story
sometimes you have to be a
little bit naughty
Lights out
Scene 9: Home or Not
(Dorothy and Glinda sit on stage, initially).
GLINDA
Dorothy, maybe Peter Pan was right about what he said.
DOROTHY
About me always running back home?
GLINDA
Look at your heels. They’re worn to a pulp.
(Gets up and walks to stage right)
DOROTHY
Apparently clicking three times doesn't work here.
GLINDA
I counted 312 clicks.
DOROTHY
I know I’m a bit obsessed about home. But it’s hard to stop looking
back.
(Glinda follows Dorothy to her mark)
GLINDA
Dorothy, it can be hard to see the road when you’re staring into the
rearview mirror.
DOROTHY
I know. But sometimes I don’t want to look ahead when I see these bad
places like a witches castle or this scary island. I want to go back
home.
24. Land of Lost Stories, FINAL Page 24
GLINDA
Home is where your heart is, Dorothy
DOROTHY
Then I wish my heart were somewhere safe and kind. Somewhere without
witches, evil trees, or strange old codgers keeping me prisoner.
GLINDA
I know, Dorothy. And I’m sure there are new and wonderful places where
you can feel just as safe as home.
(The walk to center stage)
DOROTHY
Better places? What do you suppose they’re like?
S10: IMAGINE (DOROTHY & GLINDA)
Dorothy
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Glinda
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
TOGETHER
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Scene 10: What Little People Can Do
(Immediately after song, Glinda and Dorothy are joined by
Bopeep and Mermaid. They hear Stanley scream from the back
of the auditorium, then the little guys run up to stage).
STANLEY
Screams
GLINDA
What’s the matter little guys?
HUMPTY
We found out who stole our stuff.
HAROLD
Jack stole everything!
FOZZIE
So we tried to get our things back.
GLINDA
What did Jack do?
STANLEY
He told us we were little runts.
HUMPTY
Man, we little people get no respect.
GLINDA
My dear children, you underestimate yourselves.
25. Land of Lost Stories, FINAL Page 25
S11: LITTLE PEOPLE (GLINDA, BOPEEP, MERMAID, DOROTHY
WITH STANLEY, HUMPTY, FOZZIE, HAROLD)
GLINDA
Humpty you’ve got courage
Fozzie you are a bear
BOPEEP
You don’t need to run
And hide when you are scared
MERMAID
Draw some courage Harold
Stanley don’t scream
DOROTHY
Jack has no chance
If you act like a team
HAROLD
And little people know
When little people fight
We may look easy pickings
But we’ve got some bite
So never kick a dog
Because he's just a pup
GIRLS
You’ll fight like twenty armies
And you won't give up
So you'd better run for cover
When the pup grows up!
GLINDA
A worm can roll a stone
A bee can sting a bear
BOPEEP
A fly can fly around Versailles
'Cos flies don't care!
MERMAID
A sparrow in a hut
Can make a happy home
DOROTHY
A flea can bite the bottom
Of the Pope in Rome!
LITTLES
And little people know
When little people fight
We may look easy pickings but we
got some bite!
So never kick a dog because he's
just a pup
You better run for cover when
the pup grows up!
GIRLS AND LITTLES
And we'll fight like twenty
armies
And we won't give up
No break
HAROLD
(Wait for song to end and audience applause)
I bet we can take on those old men if we work together!
FOZZIE
Let’s do it fellas.
STANLEY
I’m tired of screaming and running away. I’m no doormap!
HUMPTY
And I’ve had it. People have been pushing me around my whole life
because I’m little.
STANLEY
We’ve got your back!
(Pats Humpty, who falls off stage)
FOZZIE
26. Land of Lost Stories, FINAL Page 26
(pause for laughter)
Oh Humpty is fried. (Pause) What? Don’t crack up.... not a yolk.
Scene 11: In Our Own Bubbles
ANDAPEE
Everyone else is having a blast here on this depressing island, but
I’m quite ready to go back to my castle and sleep on a feathered
mattress.
GLINDA
Princess Andapee. Do you need a hug?
ANDAPEE
Get away from me, you crazy...
Glinda hugs Andapee. They both smile. Bopeep walks on.
ANDAPEE
Thanks. Nobody’s hugged me since I was about ten.
Bopeep hugs Andapee. Then Glinda. Then Andapee.
ANDAPEE
Bopeep, we already did our hug about 4 seconds ago, but thanks.
GLINDA
I don't normally hug. Usually when I start to get close to someone, I
end up floating away. It’s safe that way. I don’t get my heart broken.
ANDAPEE
I don’t have any real friends either. Most people just want to be my
friend because I have money.
GLINDA
Sounds isolating. Like when I float away, seeing the world from above.
Never quite...
ANDAPEE AND GLINDA
Fitting in.
BOPEEP
(late on cue).
Fitting in. Wait do it again, I missed the cue.
S12: OUTSIDE LOOKING IN (ANDAPEE/GLINDA, BOPEEP)
You don't know my name
you don't know anything about me
I try to play nice
I want to be in your game
The things that you say
You may think I never hear about
them
But word travels fast
I'm telling you to your face
I'm standing here behind your
back
[Chorus:]
You don't know how it feels
To be outside the crowd
You don't know what it's like
27. Land of Lost Stories, FINAL Page 27
To be left out
And you don't know how it feels
To be your own best friend on
the outside looking in
If you could read my mind
You might see more of me than
meets the eye
And you've been all wrong
Not who you think I am
You've never given me a chance
[Chorus:]
You don't know how it feels
To be outside the crowd
You don't know what it's like
To be left out
And you don't know how it feels
To be your own best friend on
the outside looking in
Scene 12: Pinocchio and Tinkerbell
Pinocchio: Learning courage
Tinkerbell enters from stage right (back entrance) and
drops her satchel of ferry dust. Pinocchio walks on behind
her and notices it.
PINOCCHIO
Miss, Bell. You dropped this, mam.
TINKERBELL
Thanks. Did you just call me Miss Bell? Say, what’s the matter with
you, Pinocchio?
PINOCCHIO
Nothing. Why?
TINKERBELL
You walk around like you’re scared of your own shadow.
PINOCCHIO
I guess I’m afraid someone’s going to turn me back into a puppet. Or a
donkey. Or toss me into a whale (pause). I’ve had a traumatic
childhood, okay?
TINKERBELL
Weren’t you listening to anything Peter Pan said? The things that
happened to you aren’t your story. They’re your his-story.
PINOCCHIO
His-tory? Well I suppose you’re right (pauses, smiles). So is Peter
your boyfriend?
TINKERBELL
Hah! No Peter Pan is a permanent bachelor. He’s like a big brother.
PINOCCHIO
(He’s beginning to get interested in Tink)
Well where’s your story going, Miss Bell?
TINKERBELL
Call me Tink. Common, I’ll tell you all about it. You want some Ferry
Dust?
PINOCCHIO
No thanks, Tink. I’m trying to quit.
28. Land of Lost Stories, FINAL Page 28
Scene 12.5: Little Guys Stand Strong
(Jack is rooting through his collection of stolen goods. He
lifts out Red’s basket, but tucks it away when he hears the
little guys approaching. Little Guys, minus Humpty, enter).
JACK
Oh look, the Lollipop Guild is back.
HAROLD
Hi Jack. You’re giving us our stuff back!
JACK
Harold. Why don’t you draw yourself back to your beddy bye?
FOZZIE
Hey. You mess with Harold and you mess with me.
JACK
What?
FOZZIE
Say what again. Say what again!
HAROLD
Jack, you can’t keep pushing us around because we’re small.
JACK
Says who?
STANLEY
(screaming)
Says us! Now open that bag, take out our things, and SCRAM!
(Jack looks at each of the children. And returns their
things. He leaves. The kids celebrate with high fives).
FOZZIE
Oh no.
HAROLD
What’s the matter Fozzie?
FOZZIE
I can’t believe I missed a really good one-liner.
HAROLD
What?
FOZZIE
Before Jack left. I could have said, “Hit the road, Jack.” Wocka
wocka.
(Nobody laughs)
FOZZIE
What’s Peter Pan’s favorite fast food restaurant? Wendys! Wocka!?
HAROLD
Fozzie, you don’t have to be funny for us to be your friend.
STANLEY
Yeah, Fozzie. Be yourself. We like you just the way you are.
29. Land of Lost Stories, FINAL Page 29
(The little guys hug)
FOZZIE
Listen. DO you hear that? And look- the door is opening!
Humpty rap begins
HUMPTY
Wait for me guys!
HAROLD
Humpty! You’re okay?
HUMPTY
Humpty raps (pick a song)
FOZZIE
Well you landed sunny side up! Waka, waka, waka, wakaaaa!
(The Littles cheer as they exit)
Lights down, exit music).
MOTHER GOOSE
(On stage right, where she appears
during each exit from the island)
And at that moment, the four little guys overcame the fear that had
restrained them. Parents began to tell their story as a lesson in the
strength and unity.
Lights back
(Goldilocks and Glinda enter)
GLINDA
Are you okay, Goldilocks?
GOLDILOCKS
Yes, I’m fine. I just...
GLINDA
You miss your family.
GOLDILOCKS
Of course I don’t, I, well...
GLINDA
It’s okay, Goldilocks. Everyone misses home from time to time.
GOLDILOCKS
It’s that time now, Glinda. I miss my brother and my parents. Sure
they cramp my style and embarrass me sometimes, but they love me.
GLINDA
Look Goldilocks! The door has opened because you’re ready.
GOLDILOCKS
Glinda it’s open for you too. Won’t you come with me? I’ll take you to
get pizza with my friends from school. You’ll love them!
GLINDA
Oh, no... My bubble is boarding in a few...
GOLDILOCKS
30. Land of Lost Stories, FINAL Page 30
Oh please. You’ve got to come to my town and the first thing we’re
going to do is buy you a dress that doesn’t make you look 90 years
old.
GLINDA
I look 90? What a compliment. I’m 110 years old!
(The two rush through the door, laughing).
Lights down, exit music).
MOTHER GOOSE
Goldilocks’ family embraced her again with open arms. Soon, moms and
dads began telling her story again. Goldilock learned that you can
always go home again. But it was Glinda who had never before felt so
“at home.”
Lights back
(Peter Pan, enters stage right. Tinkerbell & Pinocchio
enter stage left, holding hands).
PINOCCHIO
Thanks for everything, Peter. You were right about us needing to
sometimes choose our own ending.
TINKERBELL
And my new chapter has already started!
(She does a dance)
PETER PAN
So what’s next for you two?
PINOCCHIO
I’ve got a weekend getaway with an adorably little flying friend.
PETER PAN
Who? Jiminy Cricket?
PINOCCHIO
No that guy always makes me feel guilty. I’m going with Tinkerbell.
PETER PAN
Tinkerbell! That’s great! Where are you guys going?
PINOCCHIO
To a 5-star Bed and Breakfast in the Black Forest in Germany.
TINKERBELL
You can take the wood out of the boy, but can’t take the boy out of
the woods.
PETER PAN
Common I’ll give you two a lift!
Lights down, exit music plays.
MOTHER GOOSE
A year later, Peter Pan visited the home of Pinocchio and Tinkerbell.
He let out a crow when he met their new baby boy. “Did you name it
Peter,” he asked? “No,” they said. We named him Glow Stick.”

31. Land of Lost Stories, FINAL Page 31
(Dorothy walks in from stage right. Charming rushes in from
stage left).
CHARMING
Dorothy, haven’t you heard? We’re being remembered again? Everyone is
leaving.
DOROTHY
Not me. I’m finally adjusting. Home is where your heart is, and my
heart happens to be right here.
(She points to her heart).
CHARMING
I know it’s still a bit broken from my breakup with Cinderella. But my
heart is right here (points to his heart), and it would be honored to
get to know yours.
DOROTHY
But where are you going?
CHARMING
I’m starting a new chapter of my story. Come with?
DOROTHY
Well... yes. I’d like to see what lies ahead.
They rush through doors, hand in hand.
Lights down, exit music plays.
MOTHER GOOSE
A year later, Prince Charming’s second marriage was to a beautiful
bride from Kansas. They knew that “happy ever after” was impossible,
but that their choice to love would get them through difficult times.
Except for some munchkins, the rest of wedding had never seen a bride
escorted down the isle by a kind-hearted tin man, a brave lion and
very wise scarecrow.
Lights back
(Jack enters and is staring greedily at Red’s basket).
JACK
I can finally find out what’s in this thing. Whatever it is, Red
Riding Hood has been guarding it carefully so it must be...
(Andapee walks onto set, catching Jack)
ANDAPEE
Go ahead. Keep it. I won’t tell. But before you look inside, have you
thought about what that might do to Red Riding Hood?
JACK
What do you mean?
ANDAPEE
She’s wounded Jack. She doesn’t trust anyone. You’ll just make it
easier for her to decide the entire human race is corrupt.
32. Land of Lost Stories, FINAL Page 32
JACK
If she wants it back, she can buy it back on eBay.
ANDAPEE
Jack, does it look like money has made me happy?
JACK
No.
ANDAPEE
That’s because it doesn't. You know what does make people happy?
JACK
No.
ANDAPEE
Helping others. It’s been proven in research.
(Mermaid, Bopeep and Red walk on stage)
MERMAID
Hi Princess and Jack. Has anyone seen Red’s basket?
ANDAPEE
I... I don’t know its exact location.
BOPEEP
Seems I’m not the only one around here who loses things.
MERMAID
I don’t think the basket was lost. I think someone stole it. Like
Jack!
RED
No, it’s my fault. I must have misplaced it. Don’t blame him.
JACK
Yes, Red. You should blame me. Here.
(Jack hands the basket to Red).
RED
Oh thank you! I can’t tell you what this means to me.
(She hugs Jack)
JACK
(to Andapee)
Okay you’re right. That felt uncomfortably good.
ANDAPEE
Why not come clean to the other two?
JACK
Wait, how did you know about them?
MERMAID
Princess, what do you mean ‘come clean to the other two’?
JACK
Princess Arial, Eric didn’t steal the things from your cove. Please
come back to my castle and I’ll return your whozits, whatzits and even
the 10 thingamabobs.
MERMAID
Wow! Thanks for your honesty. And I guess I’ve got some apologizing I
need to do to Eric!
JACK
And you, Bopeep.
BOPEEP
You stole my sheep, didn’t you?
JACK
How did you know?
33. Land of Lost Stories, FINAL Page 33
BOPEEP
Because you’re full of sheep!
ANDAPEE
The doors. Jack they’ve opened for you.
JACK
Here (hands keys to Mermaid and Bopeep). Come to my castle whenever
you’d like, and everything will be returned.
ANDAPEE
Hurry Jack. The door.
JACK
It’s open for you, too, Princess Andapee. You’ve reminded me that
there’s more to life than gold. We both have more than we need, and
there are a lot of people who need some help. Join me?
Lights down- exit music
MOTHER GOOSE
In the years that followed, Jack and Princess Andapee started a
scholarship for youth who were low-income and excelled at writing
stories. And that was a story just waiting to be told.
Scene 13: Discovering Secrets
(Mermaid is sitting with Bopeep and they’re playing with their keys)
MERMAID
I guess I owe Eric an apology.
BOPEEP
I’m sure he’ll forgive you. He loves you, Arial.
STATLER
You two. Where has everyone gone! Waldorf is furious. He sent me to
escort you two to the hills. Hoo hoo hooo!
BOPEEP
Wait a second. You just said “hoo hoo hooo.” That reminds me of
someone from a story I read with my mom.
MERMAID
Bopeep, did you just say “remember”?
BOPEEP
Oh my. I did, Arial. I don’t remember ever saying that. Anyway,
Statler earlier said “ridick-orous.” And “tata for now.”
STATLER
Quiet! I don’t know what you’re talking about.
BOPEEP
You’re not a mean old man. You’re Tigger from “Winnie the Pooh.”
STATLER
34. Land of Lost Stories, FINAL Page 34
(Removes his suit and reveals stripes. Pulls out a tale.
Covers his head with his ears and places a red nose on his
face)
MERMAID
Tigger, you were tossed to this island just like us. And then you
decided that misery likes company.
STATLER/TIGGER
I’m sorry. I just wanted to stay in the “hearts and minds” of children
everywhere. But they didn’t care about me...
(Door signals it’s opening. Music plays)
STATLER/TIGGER
Come on, girls! I’ll help you fetch your things at Prince Charming’s
castle, and I’ll be back to the 100-acre woods north of Doylestown
before supper. Fun, fun, fun, fun, funnnn!
BOPEEP
After that, I’m taking my sheep to a safer place. Wouldn’t ewe?
TIGGER
What?
BOPEEP
You “hurd” me.
MERMAID
And I’m going back to Eric. I miss him dearly.
TIGGER
Well I’ll miss you and all of these Lost Story characters. But you’ll
be in my Tigger heart, and a Tigger heart is a wonderful place to live
because there’s room for everyone.
S13: I WILL REMEMBER YOU (BOPEEP AND MERMAID, TIGGER)
BOPEEP
I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
(Pause here)
Bopeep/Mermaid
I'm so tired but I can't sleep
Standin' on the edge of
something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much
but we cannot say a word
We are screaming inside, but we
can't be heard
I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
ALL
I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
(Tigger, Bopeep and Mermaid exits...
Lights down, exit music).
MOTHER GOOSE
Bopeep was reunited with her sheep. The little Mermaid was reunited
with Eric, and he suggested they spend the summer with his inlaws in

the sea. So they both grew tails and plunged into the sea one sunset.
Meanwhile, Tigger was greeted by Kanga, who wasn’t the least bit
annoyed by him. Even Eyor gave Tigger a big hug, and for the first
time anyone recalled, he revealed a great big smile.
Scene 14: And Then There Were Two
(Waldorf is sitting on the slide looking miserable. Maybe
humming “Cellophane.” Red walks in from stage right).
WALDORF
The door is right there. Why don’t you split? Everyone else has.
(Red jiggles door... it’s locked)
WALDORF
No luck? Didn’t open for me either.
RED
Well I shouldn’t be surprised.
WALDORF
What do you mean?
RED
Don’t you see? We’re not just freed because people remember us. We’re
remembered because we’re freed... free of something that’s holding us
back. Free of something that makes us a bad example to kids.
WALDORF
What’s holding you back?
RED
What’s holding me back? I don’t know. I guess ever since a mean wolf
manipulated me, I’ve had some trust issues. Who wouldn’t?
WALDORF
Well think it over. And think it under.
(Red approaches Waldorf and holds his face, staring into
his eyes).
RED
I can’t believe I didn’t see it earlier.
WALDORF
See what?
RED
You’re a mean old man on the outside. But there’s more to you. I know
it.
WALDORF
(Getting nervous)
Oh, bother. There’s nothing more to me than what you see.
RED
There’s something kind and simple and pure about you.
(Waldorf looks hopeful... waiting to come clean).
RED
36. Land of Lost Stories, FINAL Page 36
You’re Winnie the Pooh!
(He is choked up. He removes his suit, and we see his
orange fir. He slips on his ears).
RED
And I believe you’re ready to leave behind this scary island. I’ll bet
there’s a stuttering little pig who needs you right now.
POOH
Red Riding Hood. I’m sorry. Tigger and I were two of the first
characters to be banished here. It made us embarrassed, and then we
got angry. So we hid our identity (song starts) and started telling
people we were the ones responsible for keeping you here. Now I’m
discovering there’s a way out. And I’m ready to fly right out of here
and back to my forest. How about you?
S14: ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE (RED, POOH)
Winnie:
I'm alone in the universe.
So alone in the universe.
I've found magic but they don't
see it
They all call me a lunatic.
Ok, call me a lunatic.
If I stand on my own, so be it.
Both
'Cause I have wings.
Yes, I can fly
Around the moon
And far beyond the sky
And one day soon
I know there you'll be
One small voice in the universe
One true friend in the universe
Who believes in me...
Red
I'm alone in the universe.
So alone in the universe.
My own planets and stars
Are glowing.
Winnie
Alone in the universe
Red
No one notices anything.
Not one person is listening.
They don't have any way of
knowing.
Winnie
Nobody knows that
Both
I have wings
I have wings.
Yes, I can fly
I can fly
Around the moon
And far
Beyond the sky Beyond the sky
Well someday soon
You will hear my plea
Winnie
One small voice in the universe
Red
One true friend in the universe
Both
Please believe in me ...
Lights down, exit music...
MOTHER GOOSE
Piglet was the first to see Pooh entering the forest. “P-p-p-p-Pooh
Bear it’s you,” he shouted, then continued. “Pooh, Tigger just
returned, and he smells good for once.” “And why is that, Piglet,”

asked Pooh. Piglet replied, “It’s the first time he’s gone a whole
week without playing with Pooh.” And Pooh laughed and put his arm
around his nervous little friend. Meanwhile, parents across the globe
began again telling the story of Little Red Riding Hood. She was once
naïve, but when her trust was violated, her heart closed. But like
most characters of our favorite stories, she grew and taught us
something. Red still keeps here eyes wide open, but now so to is her
heart.
Lights out, scene change
Scene 15: Back to the Cabin
MOTHER GOOSE (reading story)
“And then Pooh joined Tigger sitting on their favorite log by their
favorite river in the 100-acre woods just north of Doylestown. After a
few quiet moments passed by, Tigger said to Pooh, “If you live to be a
hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have
to live a day without you.” Pooh reflected on this for a moment. Then
he said back, “If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together
keep me in your heart, and I’ll stay there forever.“
ASPEN
That was a great story grandmother!
BREE
I knew the whole time that those mean old men were Winnie-the-Pooh and
Tigger.
ASPEN
You did not!
BREE
I liked the whole story except for one part.
MOTHER GOOSE
And what was that, dear Bree?
BREE
When you made Aspen and me teenagers who didn’t want to hear your
stories.
ASPEN
Yes. We’ll always love your stories, Grandmother Goose.
MOTHER GOOSE
I bet you will. But if you do outgrow them for a short time, be sure
first to pass them along to your children.
ASPEN
I do have a question, Mother Goose. What was in Red’s basket?
BREE
And I have a question. You told us that would be the 2nd best story
ever. So what’s the best story ever?
MOTHER GOOSE
Well those are very good questions. Are there any parents out there?
Raise your hands. So, what was in Red’s basket? Shhhh. Don’t tell us
right now. Your children will want to know, and I’ll bet you can
imagine and tell a fascinating tale that has the answer.
38. Land of Lost Stories, FINAL Page 38
And that story may be the best one ever told.
The End.
